Montellà i Martinet bunker park

In the 1940s, an impressive fortification line of nearly 10,000 bunkers was built along the Pyrenees from Cap de Creus (Catalonia) to the Basque Country. Many were located in Cerdanya County, which was considered a strategic defence point.

Visitors to the Bunker Park follow a marked outdoor itinerary, with a guide for the first stretch, taking in eight different types of bunkers: combat points, artillery firing points, machine-gun nests, underground galleries and so on. The Visitor Centre completes the itinerary.

An innovatory route, recreating historical events and evoking the anxiety and uncertainty of the age, provides the keys to understanding the context of the bunkers and the period in which they were built.
